Adventures and Discoveries of Marco Polo World Landmark #3 HB/PC

Random House, 1963-05-01. Library Binding. Very Good Plus. 8x5x1. C. LeRoy Baldridge. Vintage Hardback Book with Pictorial Cover is in Very Good condition with a tight binding and clean crisp internal pages. Inside text is in Very Good Plus condition and appears to be unread and unused. There is a stamp from "Colonial Press" on the first blank end page stating that this is an imperfect or over-stocked book- I believe this to be an imperfect book, as there appears to be a "binding string" under the outside spine- making this appear to be a printing error. The good news is that it appears to have little to no effect on the book itself. No other markings or writing in the book. Book has come from a private collection and does not have any library markings. Pictorial Covers are nice showing only minor wear. There is some soiling inside the front and back cover and some minor spotting to some outside page ends- which has not effect to the inside pages. No Dust Jacket, as the Pictorial Cover editions were issued without Dust Jackets. This is a less common title in the wonderful Landmark series. Overall Nice Book! Landmark Books and World Landmark Books are accurate, in-depth stories for young people in the 9-15 year old range. These living histories were written by award-winning authors or by men and women who experienced the events first hand. Written during the 1950's and 1960's and illustrated either with two-color drawings or clear photographs, the books are informative, enjoyable, and well worth reading and collecting. World Landmark Book #3. This book is based upon Marco Polo's own book. Not one bit of conversation or quotation has been invented by the author. All quoted matter is taken from the well-known Marsden edition.
